Michael Bloomberg Gets First Endorsement From Member of Congress
Wall Street Journal ^ | Monday, January 13, 2020 | Jimmy Vielkind

Posted on 01/13/2020 11:24:23 AM PST by SunkenCiv

U.S. Rep. Max Rose of Staten Island announced his endorsement of Michael Bloomberg’s presidential bid, making Mr. Rose the first member of Congress to back the former New York City mayor’s campaign.

Mr. Rose, a Democrat, specifically cited Mr. Bloomberg’s management of the city in the wake of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Mr. Bloomberg was elected to the first of his three terms as mayor that year.

“Mayor Bloomberg’s even-keeled and visionary leadership is what we need to reduce the chaos, partisanship and hyper-vitriol that has overtaken Washington,” Mr. Rose said. “Rather than submit to another stage of politics as usual, we must be bold and unifying in taking on the huge challenges we face as a nation.”

Mr. Rose was elected in 2018. Voters in his district, which includes the borough of Staten Island as well as parts of southern Brooklyn, voted for President Trump over Hillary Clinton in 2016.

I say it’s time for a SHORT, arrogant president who sees America as the focus of evil.

Anyone else tired of seeing Bloomberg’s ugly mug in ads during the playoff games?

I think it was Republican, Rose flipped it.

If I am wrong, I apologize.

Time for the Babylon Bee to do a satire on Bloomberg.

First he outlawed Big Gulp sodas. Now he wants to outlaw gun magazines holding more than 6 bullets. Next he will want to outlaw men’s penises more than 3 inches as masculine men are dangerous. The guy is joke waiting to be told.

Fluke win. Rose is DOA this November, especially after supporting the coup d’état.

Bloomie has been bombarding us in Texas with his ads. What a schmuck. Those big gulps of sugary drinks will be taxed and coal miners can kiss their jobs goodbye. Bloomie is nothing but a rich, sniveling weasel suffering from TDS. I hope he wastes billions in his ill fated presidential ambitions. Besides don’t the woke far leftists hate rich old white guys?
What will be the theatre is the Airhead Squad vs rich, Jewish billionaire for president.

““Mayor Bloomberg’s even-keeled and visionary leadership...” Someone said this in all seriousness? Really? Puh-thetick!

...or outlaw men more than 5 feet tall. Kind of like the Woody Allen villain in Casino Royale.
